Launched in late in 1994 was Jaguars new XJ Range or "X300" the first to be done under the companys new Ford ownership. While on the outside it looked fairly different to its predecessor the "X40", underneath it was more of an evolution. But in amongst the various options available was a first for Jaguar, a "super-charged" version of their superb straight six 4 litre engine that with its Eaton M90 supercharger and an air-water intercooler was quoted as producing a very healthy 322 brake horse power, enough to get it from 0 60mph in sub 6 seconds! The "X306" XJR6. This particular Margch 1996 example has been off the road in a doctors garage since apx. 2011 but now with a new battery is running beautifully and will have a new MOT prior to being sold. Unfortunately one problem it does have and common to these cars, is the pixels on the Odometer reading and clock have deteriorated to the point it makes the mileage covered hard to read. You can see its 90 something thousand and the mileage at its last MOT was 93155, in fact all its MOTs are listed back to 2006 where it had only covered 65859 miles, so not a high miler for sure. The Interior is very good and points again to its low recorded mileage. Just the drivers outer side seat back bolster showing signs of duress. Otherwise the leather has survived very well indeed and you get that lovely air of quality when sat inside that so many other companies try so hard to replicate but somehow just dont get it right? The electrics all appear to function, 4 way electric windows, heater blower, electric front seat etc. Even the original stereo is still in place and working along with its electric aerial. Body work is good but never having been restored there are areas where the lacquer on the paint has thinned from excessive polishing, mainly on the boot lid. Some dinks and marks here and there but very little rust and still looks great! The special alloys the "R" came with are very good, in fact the spare looks brand new! The engine? Well thats as silky smooth as the day it left the factory with the 4 speed "switchable" Automatic box it is coupled to, changing gear seamlessly. Oil pressure is very good, temperature sits just on the normal mark and does not move. In fact if it was not for the Rev counter, on tick over with the windows closed, you would think it had stalled! Press the throttle and no being thrown back in the seat like a turbo charged car does, just an instant increase in power, no lag, just a constantly increasing "push" until the box changes gear, then off you go again. General mechanics and electrics are all good and as said will be up to or past the MOT requirements. Cars such as this just could not be available for such little amounts of money for much longer in fact values are now up and will continue in that direction we are sure. With only 6500 "XJRs" being built over a 4 year production run, this is already a rare car! NOTE: New MOT in place and the vendor tells us it had 4 new tyres fitted.
